Testimonies of Healing
Christian Science has brought innumerable blessings to me, among them class instruction and the annual association meeting of students; membership in The Mother Church and in a branch church; teaching in the Sunday school, daily opportunities to help others to a better understanding of divine Science; and the privilege of caring for a home and rearing a family under the guidance of this Science with the family's coöperation. I wish, however, in this testimony particularly to express my gratitude for the Christian Science Sunday School.
I should like to express my gratitude for the many blessings which Christian Science has brought into my life. When I was but four years of age I was run over by a very heavy vehicle and picked up as dead.
About two years ago Christian Science was brought to me by a person who was already familiar with it and to whom I told all my troubles. This woman asked me, "Are you a believer?" I replied that I followed no religion; that as I had always been courageous and honest, as it seemed to me, and never had wished anyone ill, if there was a God He would have come to my assistance.
My heart is full of gratitude to God, and to our beloved Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, for having found Christian Science, the "pearl of great price. " Much has occurred since I took up the study of the textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs.
It is with a deep sense of joy and gratitude that I desire to testify to the healing power of Christian Science. About five years ago I met with an accident in which both my shoulders were broken.
I am very grateful that Christian Science has come into my life, for through it not only physical health but above all moral healing has come to me. After an attack of influenza I had lost all my hair, and according to medical opinion the hair follicles had also disappeared.
I should like to bear witness to the healing which I experienced through Christian Science. For ten years I suffered from a very weak stomach, and often had such violent pains that I was obliged to call in a physician, who then forbade my having any ordinary food.
Of the many blessings that have come to me through the teachings of Christian Science, one which occurred about five years ago stands out as a direct result of prayer. For some thirty years I had been an incessant smoker.
In Psalms we read, "He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings. " This proved true in my case, for when Christian Science was first presented to me I was indeed in a horrible pit of material thinking and living.
